Iran Unveils 3rd Solar-Powered Car http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9001211116

Iran on Sunday unveiled the country's third solar-powered car named 'Iranian Gazelle 2' completely designed and developed by Iranian scientists and experts.   "The car now weighs 150kg" that is 100kg lighter than our first solar-powered car named ' Gazelle 1' which was developed before, Karen Abarnia, the project manager of the car, told reporters in a ceremony held to unveil the 'Iranian Gazelle 2' car. "The Brushless DC engine used in this car enjoys a 97% efficiency, meaning that it wastes the minimum levels of energy," he added. 

"According to road tests, the car can move at the speed of 120 km/h (74.5 miles per hour), yet we believe that the speed can increase to 150km/h (93.2 m/h)," he added. Abarnia also reiterated that the solar cells used in the car enjoy 22% efficiency and if the weather is sunny all daylong, it can travel a distance of 600km (372.9 miles) at the speed of 80 km/h (49.7 m/h).
